I've been stressed about this all week!! I've looked at 100s of pics on car domain and honestly it looks like nearly every body lowered on Eibachs still sags in the back. I have the following setup sitting in my garage; Koni Yellows up front KYBs in the rear and Eibach prokit springs. Right now I think I'm going to just do the front and see how it turns out. I drive clients in my car often and I dont want to rub in the rear if I lower the car. Biggest problem is with the stiffer shocks and springs up front the rear end is going to be way out of wack. I'm not going for performance at all I just want it to look good and function well. Any suggestions?

 

coilovers? then you can adjust accordingly.

 

Replace the rear shocks too and see. I'm having the same issue w/ you. I know by lowering only the front, the car will feel bouncy. Stiff shocks in the rear may help. Progress springs should be available in a month, specs not as radical drop in front as Eibach, and back is about the same. I'm not familiar w/ Progress' products. I know from past experience that H&R won't sag like Eibach, but they are much lower in rear to begin with.

 

I have Progress spring on my other car and they where so-so......it was still a bouncy ride on bumps and dips.....they are the lowered costing springs, so they may not be the best options for the Maximas, unless they have improved their product line.....

 

Thanks, their 04-05 retail is much lower than others. ?able!

 

Im lowered all around with Eibachs and I have the rear Agx with no rubbing. Even with people in the car it doesnt rub.

 

i got the eibachs in the rear with a 20x9 wrapped with a 255width tire and i had to move my brother out of long island and my car was loaded with about 500lbs of shizal and no rubbing, it actually looked bad *** cause the only thing showing in the rear was the rim, the tire was completly tooked into the well

 

I would do both. It will never rub, at least with all my former stuff on it Hope you are enjoying the stuff. I am still a sad little corrolla driver

 

I have the Eibachs all the way around and the only problem I have is the front mud guards scraping when I go over speed bumps. If you don't have them, no worries.

As for ride quality, I'm using the stock struts/shocks and it's just slightly bumpier but feels more predictable in steering.

 

All 4 All the way. I still have 18" wheels and with 4 clients plus myself in the car, ZERO rubbing.

If you go half, GO HOME...

 

if you get coils, you will have to do all 4... the coils won't ride good with just the front installed.. I know..

 

Hi,
, just a week ago i bought the eibach pro kit, couldnt be happier with this mod.
i also though about just lowering the front... but if you do that.. the space in the back will grow alot and it will have this kind of.. musclecar look in which the fron is almost hitting the floor and the rear is sky high.. not dissing anyone who has done it.. but for meeeee installing the whole kit gives the max a whole new attitude and the ride is very good, in mexico the streets are hell filled with bumps, holes, and everything between, and yet my max kept a very good everyday driving

 

A little update on this situation. I lowered the front myself over the weekend and I really like how it looks. The car is nearly dead even front/back. I'll try and take some pics here tonight. BUT those springs make so much damn noise its unreal. I might do the back later but for now I"m very happy with the LOOK. The ride/noise on the other hand is less than perfect.

 

I'm in the same situation. I want the front to match the rear. My son is hooking me up with a pair of Tein springs, so we'll see how it looks (and sounds) in about a week.......
What kind of noise are the springs making?

 

^^ woah Tein makes springs for the 6th Gen? I loved them on my 5th...let me know how they work out. The noises are like everyone else has been saying all along....clicking, banging, metal on metal sounds. Really sucks.

 

I am going to use HR springs on my Max...I believe this best way to go from all the information I've read...I have an 05, SE
